Banjo-Kazooie 3 was shown to selected media last week

''Banjo-Kazooie 3 is going through the same secretive development process that Banjo-Tooie lived back in 1999 and 2000. The game is official, but there isn't much information about it on the Net and it hasn't been shown yet either. All that we still have is a vague release date (Xmas was confirmed twice as the tentative date), five possible plots proposed by Rare themselves, a virtually empty teaser website… but there are no many clues about when Rare will decide to unveil the game. Or are there?

Last week, as we hinted in a recent article, we were told by a source that Rare was going to show two projects to the press in a very exclusive meeting. It seems that only some selected media were allowed to attend this call; and as it's obvious no information has seen the light of day yet, so without a doubt there are some NDA to avoid leaks until Rare approves the moment. This information has been extra-officially confirmed in the latest days through several boards (NeoGAF, RWP…) and even a podcast from 1Up, with Banjo-Kazooie 3 being one of those alleged projects. Apparently, those journalists would have played the game.''

The games they produced were more suited to Nintendo's console and market though. They always made bright colorful fun games and then you had goldeneye/perfect dark. To play a "kiddie" game on the xbox 360 just isn't "cool" apparently. If you're not killing something in a horrible gruesome way or there's not enough blood then it's mostly considered a kids game on the 360. Even the games Rare released on the 360 didn't do so well. If Viva Pinata was released on the Wii it would have sold like hotcakes.
